Protein Design & Protein Material Laboratory

Professor Yong Ho Kim

This laboratory is a laboratory for Protein Design and Protein Biomaterials Laboratory, which develops new biomaterials based on the study of protein function and structure in biochemistry.

Based on research on the structure and function of proteins present in nature, we design proteins that do not exist in nature with new structures or properties, and develop various biocompatible materials that impart their desired functions by using their properties.

As an example, we develop proteins that can interact with carbon-based materials (graphene, carbon nanotubes, and fullerene) to develop conductive protein hydrogels or sensors that can detect specific antigens as electrical signals.

Research on skin regeneration and treatment has been carried out by attaching proteins related to antimicrobial, anti-aging, and stem cell differentiation to proteins having in vivo / externally applicable functions using gene recombination technology. Expression at a high concentration in patients with type 2 diabetes The structure and properties of 'amyloid protein' are also under study.

Laboratory for Nano-Physics

In this laboratory, two dimensional nanomaterials such as graphene, topological insulator (TI) and transition metal chalcogenide (TMD), which are important as low dimensional materials in physics, but which have high application value as next generation nano devices and nano materials Or hybrid nanomaterials and can be used to probe-based electronic structures, optical properties, and other devices such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), atomic force microscopy (AFM, KPFM, SGM) and scattering- / Material properties are studied at atomic or nano-level resolution, and the theoretical verification is carried out by itself with DFT (Functional Theory Computation) and FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain Computation).

Nano Device Process Laboratory

Professor Won Jong Yoo

Based on the deep understanding of the intrinsic properties of two-dimensional nanomaterials, we will develop a new concept for future devices that demonstrate quantum, optical, and physical properties that can not be obtained from 3-dimensional materials through the fabrication of new materials and integrated structures. We will focus on developing unique process technology for nano devices.

Especially, by analyzing and analyzing the physical, chemical and electrical properties of metal contact interfaces, which are important for the development of Van der Waals interfaces and devices that occur when two-dimensional materials are integrated.

Nano Device and Technology Laboratory

Professor Sung Joo Lee

The creation of the future society through technological overcoming of all the problems faced by mankind is possible through development of new functional nano material which exceeds existing limit and securing application technology with innovative device based on it. In this laboratory, we are studying the development of applied technology as a new functional device to overcome limit by developing and integrating next generation nanomaterial that can overcome fundamental limit of existing material. Various researches are proceeding from the synthesis and analysis of nano-new materials and multidimensional fusion nano-materials to the development of next-generation post-Si information processing / storage / transfer devices and optoelectronic devices based on them and their application to highly integrated systems. It is a laboratory that fosters core technicians who can lead the future academic and industrial fields of nano devices by securing the underlying technologies and application technologies of future information and electronic society including next generation semiconductors.

Nano-Medical System Laboratory

Professor Yong Taik Lim

In the field of chemotherapy, anticancer immunotherapy technology which uses the patient's own immune system as a new technology which can not be treated by conventional chemotherapy or radiation therapy or which can minimize side effects, is receiving attention as a next-generation chemotherapy. However, the complex immune network in the body creates a variety of immune tolerance / suppression environments, and the current anti-cancer immunotherapy efficiency is still very low.

We are developing various immune biotechnology technologies that can overcome immune tolerance and improve the efficiency of low-grade chemotherapy.

In particular, we are developing new chemotherapy technologies by adjusting the characteristics of immune cells and cancer microenvironment based on engineering techniques such as bio / nano materials that can be applied in human body. In addition, various bio / nanomaterials that can coordinate the functions of the immune cells in the body are also used in combination with the development of vaccines and immunosuppressants, which are preventive and therapeutic medicines for infectious diseases.
